The basketball star MiLaysia Fulwiley has officially declared her long-term commitment to the South Carolina Gamecocks, stating she plans to remain with the program for the entirety of her collegiate career—and beyond. The groundbreaking agreement, which has captured national attention, effectively secures Fulwiley’s future with the team until she decides to retire from competitive basketball.
This historic decision comes shortly after Fulwiley withdrew from the NCAA transfer portal, an earlier move that had shocked fans and sparked intense speculation. Now, with this new deal in place, Fulwiley has not only put those rumors to rest but has also made a bold statement about her loyalty and dedication to the program. According to sources close to the situation, the agreement includes a variety of unique provisions, possibly involving NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities and extended support from the university even after her playing days are over.
During the official announcement, Fulwiley expressed her deep gratitude toward head coach Dawn Staley, her teammates, and the South Carolina community. She called the Gamecocks “family” and emphasized that the environment, coaching, and fan base are everything she could’ve hoped for. “I’m not going anywhere,” she declared. “This is home.”
The announcement has sparked excitement and pride among Gamecock supporters, who now view Fulwiley not just as a player, but as a cornerstone of the program’s identity. Her long-term commitment is being celebrated as a major victory for South Carolina women’s basketball and a defining moment in college sports.
